Unreliable

We made an appointment with Ms. Trapp and met with her. We explained our case and paid her the retainer. She informed us that she billed each month, but this never happened. When we would call into her office, we were always told she would call us back. This would rarely happen. We tried making ...another appointment to see her, and were told she would call us. We rarely were able to meet with her again. She did not setup an appointment to discuss our case before the court hearing about what we should expect in the court room. We decided to terminate Ms. Trapp and find a new attorney. We sent a certified letter with receipt requested informing her of a date and time that we would be picking up our personal papers and files. We received a signed confirmation, but when we went to her office she was not available nor did we get our papers and files. It has been over ten months, and we have yet to receive our papers and files.

Very professional

We hired Ms. Trapp last year for my boyfriends case and she was very helpful and professional. With her hard work she was able to solve his case and get him the best deal. I would definitively recommend her and hire her again if I need help in anther case.

Outstanding Results

The Trapp firm kept me informed during my entire case and put in the extra effort to ensure I'd win my case. I highly recommend the Trapp law firm.

STOP! Here is your lawyer.

It is comforting to walk in a courtroom secure in the knowledge that the smartest person in the room is on your side. She never once ducked an issue, thought, concern, idea, etc. I threw her way. Categorically addressed all things I brought up. Attacked any issue we had with the tenacity of a pitbull.... Was very knowledgeable about my rights in any given situation that was brought up and did her utmost to protect them. Conscientious, smart, and thorough. Made me feel I had an active part in every phase of the proceedings. Handled a multifaceted case (criminal, civil, forfeiture, traffic) and had me smelling like roses with every battle we fought. More than fair treatment ....best money I ever spent.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2024.

Suspension issued in IN, 2024

This means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Angela’s comment:

“My license is active, and in good standing. I received a brief suspension with automatic re-instatement for events that occurred in 2019, and were resolved in 2024.”
